I agree, the Equalizer 4, best way to go. But, it depends on what trailer you plan to tow. Bigger / heavier the trailer, the more important things get. A 18' 4000# trailer, you would be good with the Equalizer 2 point, or really anything.

Need a lot more info to reply with anything meaningful.

I have a longer trailer in Tx wind so I use a Hensley. ProPride is similar design. The previous mentioned hitches were useless, I have had one in a box in my garage for many years.

As stated, there is no one perfect solution for everyone, it depends on what you plan on towing.

Trailer is 22' - 27 with tongue GVW 7570. Hitch weight 570. Again looking at the Husky Center Line TS -32218 seems to have great reviews.

I've heard Husky Centerline are good. side note, plan on more than 570 for hitch weight. That 570 is probably a brochure number, typically understated.
